Like most Sonic games, there are a few interesting cheats that change the way the game plays. Unlike others, however, these are accessed via a color test mode, instead of the sound test or a button combination. | Like most Sonic games, there are a few interesting cheats that change the way the game plays.

*The Level Select option in ''Knuckles' Chaotix'' allows you to manually select what character you want to play as. In the lineup, Mighty the Armadillo is listed in the first slot, typically where you would find Sonic in the [[Sega Genesis]] ''Sonic'' games. Listed second, is a character named **********. When selected, this character is a mess of corrupted graphics and colors (a typically occurring phenomenon when a ROM tries to access data that has been changed or removed) vaguely resembling Knuckles, dubbed "Wechnia" by fans; this could be the only remnant of what was once Tails. | |||
